The HR Crisis Response Resource Center addresses the challenges HR leaders face during disruptions. "When disruption strikes, HR is often the steadying force an organization looks to," said Grace Ewles, director, HR Research & Advisory Services at McLean & Company. The platform provides:
Crisis Playbooks and Templates: Tailored emergency response plans for HR-specific needs.
Communication Tools: Checklists and guides for empathetic, consistent messaging.

By combining immediate action tools with long-term resilience strategies, the center helps HR professionals avoid reactive responses and build stronger organizations.
The Resource Center is tailored for disruptions like wildfires, cyberattacks, or workplace trauma, ensuring HR leaders can act swiftly while prioritizing employee wellbeing. Its focus on both strategic and human elements positions HR as a pivotal force in crisis management, fostering organizational resilience.
